To all 'whom it may cm1-cem:

Be it known that I, PH.

sectional side elevation of my This invention relates to a fastening for gloves or other articles of wearing-apparel, which is composed of a hollow dumb-hell-shaped cap, struck up of sheetmetal, and provided with points, which serve to tasten' one and the biitton to the other part of a glove or other article, and the loose end of the cap is pressed down over the button, the spring-catch drops into the neck, and the glove or other article is fastened, and, by pushing the spring-catch .back against the action of its spring, the cap is released, and the glove or other varticle becomes unfastened.

A represents a cap, which is struck up, of sheetinetal, in the form shown in the drawing, or in any other convenent form er shape.

Onend of this cap is provided with a series of points, a, which are passed through the article to which the fastening is te he attached, and then turned under, a shown in g. l,

In the interior of this cap is placed a bolt, b, which is retained in position by a button, c, and which is subjected to the action of a spring, d, as shown iugs. l: and 2.

The button c moves in a slot in the cap, so that, by pressing on said button, the bolt b can be forced henk against the actipu of the spring d.

The loose end of the cap is of such a form that it can bemade to cover up the button B, which forms the second main part of my fastening.

This button is struck up of sheet-metal, and pro vided with points, e, which serve to fasten the saine the glove or otherarticle, as shown in iig. l oi' the drawing.

The head of said button is rounded off, and it is provided with a neck, f, to receive the outer end of the bolt b.

The cap A is secured to one and the button B to the other part of the glove or other article to be fastened, and, bypassing the loose end ofthe said capover the button, the bolt b is caused to catch in theneck f of the button B, and the glove or other article is fastened. By pressing the small button c back, the bolt b is caused to release the neck of the button B. and the cap A becomes unfastened.

Having thus described my invention,

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-
